Past Events

Why did three (not two) skyscrapers fall to the ground
on 9/11 at near free-fall rates, killing thousands?
Why were numerous bone fragments found
on a roof-top 600 feet away?
Why did the National Inst. of Standards and Technology,
charged by Congress to explain the collapses, concede to us,
"...We are unable to provide a full explanation of the total collapse"[1]?
Why did NIST refuse to look for residues from explosives?
(We, however, did so using state-of-the-art methods
and I will report results.) What is the significance of red/gray
chips found in the 9/11 dust? What is super-thermite?
Who are the whistleblowers and what do they have to say?
Why were there no air defenses on 9/11?

For those who prefer a more "technical" abstract, here you go:
Scrutinizing dust samples collected shortly after the destruction
of the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001,
I observed numerous red-orange chips in the dust.
Many of these chips showed a gray layer on one side
and a red layer on the other side. We applied optical microscope,
scanning-electron-microscope (SEM) and x-ray
energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS) methods to
analyze these unusual "red/gray" chips.
The chemical composition will be discussed.
A flame test showed high reactivity of the chips
with ejection of hot material; this and other tests
differentiated the behavior of the red chips from
that of paint samples.
We consider some implications of these findings.

A day-long conference on Saturday
December 15 at Boston's historic Faneuil Hall is entitled,
"The Destruction of World Trade Center Towers 1, 2 and 7:
A Case for Controlled Demolition."
In this scientific look at the collapses,
a panel of four well-known and credentialed
science and engineering professionals
will present the case that the government's
theories could not possibly be true and that most of the evidence
points to the one theory that's been completely avoided
by the government and the media.

The event will feature architect Richard Gage, AIA, of AE911Truth.org,
former BYU physics professor Dr. Steven Jones,
Underwriters Laboratories whistleblower Kevin Ryan,
and new to the scene, Dr. Joel Hirschhorn,
formerly a professor of Metallurgy at the University of Wisconsin
and a senior staff member at the US Congressional Office
of Technology Assessment from 1978 to 1991,
who testified more than 50 times before congress on scientific issues.

On Thursday, November 8th, from 1 to 2 PM Eastern,
popular progressive Air America host and author, Thom Hartmann,
will host a debate between Kevin Ryan, 9/11 UL whistleblower
and co-editor of the online
Journal of 911 Studies,
and Michael Shermer, publisher of "Skeptic Magazine,"
Executive Director of the Skeptics Society,
and columnist for Scientific American magazine.

Join us for a powerful one-day symposium beginning at
10:00 AM and ending at 10:00 PM. Listen to family members
Robert McIlvane and Donna Marsh O'Connor, first responder
John Feal, filmmaker Sophia of 9'11 Mysteries, architect
Richard Gage, physicist Steven Jones and human rights attorney,

Bay Area Architect Richard Gage, AIA, will discuss the features
of all 3 World Trade Center building "collapses".
Not only the Twin Towers, but also 47-story World Trade Center Building #7,
not hit by an airplane, completely "collapsed" on September 11, 2001
at nearly free-fall speed.

Architects and engineers are especially invited to attend this event.

"The tall, strong Twin Towers were broken into very small pieces
and massive clouds of dust long before anything hit the ground,"
Gage observes. "We did not see them 'collapse' that morning,
we saw them explode into dust and individual steel components.
Watch the videos for yourself -- they are widely available on the Internet
(including ours at
www.AE911Truth.org)
and they all show the same essential features.
Flashes of light and sounds of explosions were witnessed by
118 first responders and recorded by the FDNY.
Huge rubble clouds formed immediately and symmetrically outside the buildings
as they fell. The destruction was of amazing speed, evenness, and thoroughness,
that it could only have been very carefully engineered and planned in advance."

Tons of molten iron "flowing like lava" was found by demolition crews
and by Leslie Robertson, the World Trade Center structural engineer.
This observation can only be explained by the use of thermite,
an incendiary used by the military to cut through steel.
Chemical analysis on the steel and the dust performed by
physicist Steven Jones, Ph.D., and 3 other scientists
found the classic signature traces of thermite.

Gage has been joined by more than 130 architects and engineers
who have signed an online petition to the members of
the House of Representatives and the Senate demanding
a truly independent investigation with subpoena power.

Gage has made his presentation to several California architectural firms,
colleges, and universities. At the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada,
he and author Barrie Zwicker spoke to over 500 people at two events.
More than 90% of those in attendance agreed with his conclusions.

Saturday, April 21st, 1:00 to 5:00 PM"Deconstructing Deceit: 9/11, the Media, and Misinformation"

Berkeley City College
2050 Center St., Berkeley, CA

An afternoon colloquium on recent historical public perception management,
information control, and propaganda surrounding the events of September 11,
2001. The two sessions focused on media coverage and misinformation
around 9/11 issues with examples of case studies concerning
the destruction of the WTC towers and Building 7.

Proceedings:

Session One - History and Context: A conversation between BCC history
instructor Mickey S. Huff, MA, and KPFA's Guns and Butter host Bonnie
Faulkner on the weaponization of information in U.S. history and media
misinformation and alternative coverage on 9/11 issues;

Session Two - Case Studies and Misinformation: Architect Richard Gage,
AIA, and research scientist Jim Hoffman, MFA, will focus on the role of
media perception management and misinformation in cementing the
official narrative of the 9/11 attack underlying the War on Terror --
particularly regarding the destruction of three WTC skyscrapers.
Gage presented factual evidence challenging media and government reports
on the "collapse" of the buildings while Hoffman analyzed
various official accounts of misinformation and perception management.
Q&A followed each session.

The event was part of the History of U.S. Media class for BCC's Global Studies
Program and is sponsored by Project Censored, KPFA's Guns and Butter,
SF911Truth, Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth,
and Scholars for 911 Truth and Justice.
The event was free and open to the public and is wheelchair accessible.
It was attented by about 80 persons.

Saturday, April 14, 2007San Diego Citizens Grand Jury

Aztec Center Council Chambers
San Diego State University
5500 Campanile Drive
San Diego, CA

On Saturday, April 14, 2007 San Diegans for 9/11 Truth,
a local citizens activist group, conducted a citizens' grand jury
investigation into the wrongful deaths that occurred
at the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001.
A common-law grand jury of 23 citizens was impaneled
to review the evidence and the grand jury's findings
have since been announced.
The event was open to the public, and attented by about 60 persons.

From noon to 9:00 PM, grand jurors assembled in the
Aztec Center Council Chambers at San Diego State University
to hear testimony from expert witnesses, including architect Richard Gage,
and video excerpts from physicist Steven Jones, and engineer Kevin Ryan.
Don Paul and Jim Hoffman, coauthors of The 9/11/01 Crimes in New York City:
Waking Up from Our Nightmare, led the investigation.

The Project for a New American Citizen sponsored
Rebuilding America's Senses,
a two-day conference aimed at exposing
state- sponsored terrorism and its application
in staged false-flag operations.
By understanding these two fundamental concepts,
one can better comprehend how governments have historically
used fear and even terrorism as a means to control their populations.
The conference was be organized around the historical and present use
of state-sponsored terrorism, as well as its inevitable use in the future.
It is our belief that a citizenry who is aware of such tactics
will not be so easily coerced into supporting another unjustifiable war
and continued degradation of their rights.

National Boycott To Impeach for Peace and Justice
A Non-Partisan Coalition of Americans Standing Together for Justice

Of the 100 largest economic entities in the world, more
than half are transnational corporations. Wal-Mart is larger,
in economic terms, than 182 countries. After 9/11 Bush told
us that the best thing was to quietly go shopping. We can
collectively say no to being quiet and say no to shopping.
It is time for Americans take a one-week break, from Tax Day
April 15 to April 22, and stop all corporate shopping, delay
major purchases, stay out of shopping malls, and avoid
national chain stores. People of conscience, let's send a
message to corporate America and Congress to end the
war in Iraq and move forward immediately on the impeachment
of Bush and Cheney.

11/11/06Lifting the Fog:
The Scientific Method Applied to the World Trade Center Disaster

This free day-long conference

11/03/06Project Censored Media Accountability Conference

Peter Phillips and Project Censored hosted physicist Steven Jones
as a keynote speaker for its
Project Censored Media Accountability Conference
at the Sonoma State University campus in Sonoma, California.
This event marked the 30th release of the top under-covered news stories
of the year and was attended primarily by individuals involved in media
and new to the scientific questions behind in the 9/11 investigation.
The event garnered media attention by the local conservative paper
which attacked Jones by describing him as a
discredited professor.
Project Censored responded with
an article
by Peter Phillips and Andrew Roth in GlobalResearch.ca .

10/28-9/06Research on 9/11: Why the Official Story Cannot Be True

Colorado 9/11Visibility
hosted scientists Steven E. Jones and Kevin Ryan
to discuss evidence regarding the destruction
of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11/01,
and Kevin Barrett to comment on psychological aspects of the attack.
The highly successful events were attended by 300
in Denver and 250 in Boulder and were covered by the
Daily Camera
among other media.

12/26/069/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out

Pacifica radio station KPFA ( www.kpfa.org )
in Berkeley California
hosted editors and contributors to the book,
"9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out."
Speakers included Dr. David Ray Griffin, Dr. Peter Dale Scott,
Dr. Peter Phillips, Kevin Ryan and former CIA analyst Ray McGovern,
discussion moderator.
The event was the first event involving the questioning
of the official version of the 9/11 attacks that the KPFA radio station
has ever sponsored.
It was later replayed on
C-SPAN2 Book TV
in November of 2006.
The event was sold out and turned away over 100 people at the door.
Many of those in attendance were first-time listeners to the details
of the potential role of insiders in the attacks of 9/11/01
and expressed shock at some of the information presented.
Presenters assessed the Bush administration's responsibility
for the attacks on 9/11 and suggested that the attacks were used
to enact long established plans to expand the American empire.
The DVD is available at
PeaceProject.com.

09/02/06Science Applied to the WTC Collapses

Researcher Jim Hoffman gave two presentations
at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City, Missouri,
examining evidence
of the destruction of the World Trade Center buildings
and critiquing the official explanations
in light of the scientific method.
The presentations, described
here
examined the official explanation of the collapses
of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Building 7,
with special attention to NIST's recent report.
